First, when taking this medication, serious allergic reactions may occur, so if symptoms such as skin rash or difficulty breathing arise, you should immediately stop taking the medication and consult a doctor. Second, there is a risk of acute pancreatitis, which is inflammation of the pancreas, so you should inform the healthcare professional immediately if you experience abdominal pain, vomiting, or severe abdominal discomfort.

Fourth, patients with poor kidney function, severe infections or dehydration, or heart failure should not take this medication, especially as they should have regular kidney function tests. Fifth, this medication is not recommended for use in pregnant or nursing women, or in children under 18 years of age. Sixth, it is important to avoid alcohol consumption while taking this medication, as excessive drinking can increase the risk of lactic acidosis. Seventh, if this medication is used with other hypoglycemic agents such as insulin or sulfonylureas, the risk of hypoglycemia increases, so blood glucose levels should be monitored closely.
